Langmuir Adsorption Kinetics in Liquid Media: Interface Reaction Model.

ABSTRACT: Adsorption kinetic equation has been derived assuming that the process follows the behavior of a heterogeneous chemical reaction at the solid-liquid interface. This equation is converted into the Langmuir isotherm at equilibrium and describes well the unsteady-state adsorption process. Based on that, a working equation has been developed, which gives adsorption-rate-constant independent of operating parameters including concentration. Also, a kinetic model expressed as a sum of first- and second-order systems available in the literature has been applied (modified with the interface reaction concept) to determine the adsorption rate constant. Both methods gave similar results. Three dimensionless numbers have been developed to determine and distinguish pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-o
